(Madison, NJ) September 28, 2020 - At the Madison Area YMCA, we are excited to offer opportunities that support adult, youth and family health, wellness and development! We are gearing up for our 5-week Fall 2 Session, beginning on Monday, October 19. Fall 2 Session online registration for members and program participants opens Thursday, October 1 at 9 a.m.  

The Fall 2 schedule includes a variety of enriching program opportunities to meet the varying needs of our community’s youth, especially during this season’s challenging circumstances. Small indoor studio youth classes, private lessons and custom youth pod offerings are available for the School of Performing Arts (SOPA), Sports skill development, Gymnastics, Y Ninja Gym and more. While still maintaining physical distance requirements, our custom pods are the perfect opportunity to extend your child's skills development within your "safe circle." 

The Madison Area YMCA has been successful in developing and administering safety procedures for Summer and Fall 1 Sessions that support the health and well-being of our participants. Senior Program Director Kim Buccheri said, “A new offering of pod classes that launched during our Fall 1 program session was an extension of these efforts. Pods are intended to provide ultimate flexibility in creating a SOPA, Sports, Gymnastics or Y Ninja Gym class for a self-contained group of family and friends.” Following recommendations from the Madison Department of Health and the CDC, we provide a safe and healthy experience for all participants. Visit www.madisonareaymca.org/Fall-2020 for more information.

Join us on Thursday, November 5 and Friday, November 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for Kids Day Out, an enriching and fun filled program for your kindergarten through grade 5 children to enjoy when school is not in session. Extended care is available for an additional fee. Email Associate Child Care Director Katie Koontz at KKoontz@madisonymca.org for more information.

As a mission-driven charitable organization and community wellness center, the Madison Area YMCA is dedicated to nurturing the potential of our youth, providing a safe space for teens, improving the community’s health and well-being, and giving back by providing support to our neighbors.
